“THE PRIDE OF PACOIMA”

by Ignacio Gomez

With artistic talent recognized in Kindergarten Gomez recalls the principal of his school calling in his parents to tell them his talents should be developed. While still attending Art Center Gomez had two of his works printed by the New York Times, and in the process got New York representation. With a storied career that includes painting an album cover for the Beatles, and the poster for the smash hit, Zoot Suit (now part of the Smithsonian collection) he has painted for major publications, organizations, and corporations. Increasingly sought after for civic projects, in 2004 he designed, sculpted, and painted the 23,000 sq. ft. César E. Chavez Memorial for the city of San Fernando, and in 2011 completed this 60 foot long mural for the new Pacoima Neighborhood City Hall at 13520 Van Nuys Blvd. With 31 portraits of notable sons and daughters of Pacoima the work is woven together by images of local landmarks and the cultural diversity of its proud citizens. @ignaciogomezart​  @pacoimabeautiful
